You were falling and it felt like forever, you became lightheaded and the world around you swirled endlessly when suddenly you fell into another room. You stood in the kitchen witnessing one of Tobys mother and Fathers famous arguments. Toby stood at the entrance of the kitchen seething, you could feel his anger and frustration building up like a volcano.
His father grabbed his mother by her shoulders and shoved her back into the counter corner roughly screaming at her about cleaning in a drunken rage. Toby rushed over to his dad and grabbed around him yelling to stop, his father turned abruptly grabbing Toby by his throat and pushed him against the wall threatening to kill him.
Tobys voice was raspy as he tried yelling over his throat being crushed that what his father was doing was nothing, Tobys Dads hands tightened and his mother rushed to stop him from killing her child, when suddenly someone else rushed Into the kitchen, Tobys sister ran to her father and roughly yanked one hand off Tobys throat.
Her father screamed and called her vile names then pushed his sister to the floor letting go of Toby and began kicking daughter.
Toby fell to the floor and began coughing without his control, Toby was limited to his bodies weakness even though he couldn't feel the pain. He lunged forward grabbing onto his fathers shin and held it to the floor sobbing and begging him to stop. His sister laid on the floor crying and screaming at her father asking in a blind anger if he was insane.
Mrs. Rodgers rushed to her husband and pulled him away and cornered him yelling threats to call the police. Tobys dad retorted loudly that she wouldn't dare that no one would love her if he left, that no one would want to put up with her neglect and stupidity. Tobys mother began sobbing and yelling telling her husband to shut his mouth.
Toby stood up and yelled at his father to stop abusing his mother.
Tobys father pushed past his wife and grabbed Toby by his hair roughly dragging him up the stairs forcing Toby to follow.
You followed them up the stairs holding the sweater fight against you body feeling your own anger begin to waver without your control.
Tobys father opened the door to Tobys room and pushed him into it leaving Toby alone in his room and locked the door from the outside. Toby banged on the door screaming threats.
Tobys father rushed back down the stairs to the kitchen, you followed tailing him with a morbid curiosity. Tobys dad re entered the kitchen and Tobys sister and mother stood asking if the other was okay, Tobys dad rushed forward and you couldn't take anymore.
You ran back up the stairs and attempted to open the door to Tobys room but when you touched the doorknob your hand passed right through it and the world became a fog, but this time your fall was shorter.
